The Horse Breeders.

The first annual meeting of the
Eastern Vermont Association of Road
and Trotting Horse Breeders was
| held at the St. Johnsbury house last
| Tuesday forenoon. The association
| boasts of about one hundred and fiji
ty members and the meeting was
largely attended, particularly large
delegation being present from Orleans
county. The reports of the secreta-
ty and treasurer were exceedingly
gratifying and showed the society to
be in very prosperous condition.
The forenoon was very profitably
devoted to a general discussion of
topics of interest to the members and
to the development of the best meth
DDS for the promotion of the interests
of the society. Among other points
discussed was the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting a system of points in the
Judging of stock on exhibition at the
park meetings of the association. A
motion was carried adopting some
such system. The system referred
to was explained in WalIace's Month
ly in November. Some such method
in Judgment is preferable to the or
binary methods. The working of
the ''pOint' system is said to be very
satisfactory. In Judging stock offer
ed for a prize by this method the
judge is given a card containing the
pedigree of the animal and its name
and owner, and then he Is called up
on to fill out the blanks according to
the following STANDARDIZED points
being perfect animal and the num-
Der distributed as follows:
Value of pedigree, so; individual
performance, %; character of off
spring, 20; head, 4; eye and ear, 4
neck, 6; shoulders and forearms, 8;
barrel, coupling and Group, 10; hips,
quarters, stife and gaskins, II; hooks,
knees, legs and pasterns, IA; feet,
10; color, 6; size. 10; symmetry
and color, 8 action, s; total, 200.
OF course after the judge has filled
out the blank for each animal enter
ed in a class, the one obtaining the
largest number would receive the
first prize. The system is a good
one and its adoption by horse breed
ers here shows that they are wide
awake to the most approved methods.
Some dissatisfaction has been oc-
casioned because track horses that
are trotters and have been trotted for
money, have been allowed to COM
pete in the class of gentlemen's driv=
ers and roadsters. The association
will successfully avoid all difficulty
from this source in the future by
separate class for each and
by passing a resolution that no horse
that has ever trotted for money can
compete in the class of roadsters.
The executive committee elected
were as follows: To serve one year,

legislation. This granted, whsteyer
! has weakened the republican strength
in legislatures has lessened the
chances of temperance Legislation.
Whatever votes have been wasted IN
voting for dummy candidates has
been lost directly, and in many cases
saloon candidates have slipped in to
swell the poisoning influence of this
class of men in places where they
can do great harm.
1t is not to be expected that either
of the great parties will be all they
ought to be in the line of Temperance
work, but if there is any difference
in them-and we think there is-it is
the duty, and it ought to be the in
telligent desire of all good men to be
of that party which promises most.
1t is far easier to work reform inside
of party lines than to expect wonder
full things from political suicide. We
like pure, cold, clean principle in all
things, but there is no use in hating
the earth because it is not heaven.
Men who are sagacious and sensible
realize that they are working with
and among men as they are, and
they ought to so shape their actions
as to accomplish something for good,
if they cannot accomplish everything.
Some very good people start out on
the line that because prohibition is
right, "a distinctive prohibition party is
a necessity. 1t is right, SO the world
holds to hang men for treason, but It
would have been a heavy task twentY
years ago to have hung all the trait
ors in the land. Things may be
right that are not eXpedient, ends
may be sought by means that in
themselves seem right land yet they are
never attained. Voting for the more
worthy of two Objectionable candi-
dates may not be a pleasant task, but
the result will Justify the means.
The unfortunate patient who must
take one OF the other of two disa-
greeable purgatives. chooses the one,
if he can, which does him the most
good. Choosing the less of two
evils though the idea is secuted
by some notably good prohibition
people is nevertheless the universal
practice of those who encounter
evils.
Prohibition party politics is i'm
practicable in the line of temperance
reform; it has not resulted in that
success anywhere which cOmmends it
to the candid Judgment of any con-
siderable portion of temperance men.
On the contrary it has resulted in so
much harm to the party, which has
been most prominent in instituting
temperance legislation, that brewers,
liquor dealers, and the great rum
power have helped to egg and urge it
on by furnishing money to keep up
the agitation. 1t is strange that sim
cere temperance men can become so
blind to facts, as to labor in a direc-
ton that merits and receives the I'M
qualified approval of all the rum in
terests of the country. If men ques
ton these assertions they have only
to consult the great newspaper or
gans, which base their predictions of
defeat or victory on the number of
prohibition votes, and sum up their
returns by stating that the success
OF their party was due to the &C
ton of prohibitionists.

A Possible Failure.

The Panama canal, in spite of the
fresh support it gets occasionally in
Europe, seems destined to be CON
tinual source of anxiety to its pro-
jectors. According to a report made
last spring, the total expenditures up
to March 1st, 1897, amounted to
S134, 0S4,729. There had been ex-
cavated about 100000 cubic
yards to show for this, and nearly
10000, 900 yards remain to be exca-
waited. The estimated total cost of
the work done and yet to be done
was not less than 1915, 900, 900.
There was a surplus of only SO, 000,-
900 available for the work, and there
fore upwards of 1928 900, 900 were
needed to complete it. Lieutenant
Rogers of the United States navy,
who inspected the canal, stated that
although more than 10000 laborers
were employed on the work, at the
present rate of excavation it would
require ten years to complete it. The
credit of the company is not good,
though De Lesseps has made a cour-
ageous fight to sustain the enter
prise. 1t is now given out that col
lapse for the canal, bankruptcy for
thousands Of small holders and the
perils of a great financial convulsion
for France must come unless the
French government assumes the con-
troll and expense of the project. 1t
is said that the French ministry hes
itate to take up the enterprise, though
a strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon them by the anxious
stockholders. Even if they are sue
cessful in raising the funds in this
way to carry on the work, it is pre-
dicted by competent engineers that
dozen years at least will be required
for its successful completion.-Er.
